Revolvers
Unidentified Revolver 1
In the opening and the final scenes, Commissioner Mattei (Bourvil) carries a snub nose revolver. It looks similar to a Smith & Wesson Model 36 but the shape of the front sight and of the grip differs.
Unidentified Revolver 2
A Colt-style revolver is used in Jansen's apartments as a decoration (according to the plate, it's an award to Jansen for sharpshooting). It resembles a Colt Official Police but its grip looks different. In the final scene, Jansen is seen with a revolver that is supposed to be the same gun.
